Throughout October, there are a number of initiatives and campaigns organized to shine a light on mental health and mental illness.
Mental Illness Awareness Week (October 4-10, 2020) is an annual campaign designed to help Canadians understand the reality of mental illness. World Mental Health Day is on October 10, 2020. It is observed annually and aims to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world.
This year has proven to be a challenging time for many. To help post-secondary students, staff, and faculty, BCcampus has hosted a number of mental health webinars throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
